New Journey

The night under the stars.

"What do you mean?"I asked as my eyes brimmed with tears, yenny wrapped her arm around my shoulder.

"He's gone."He replied as he looked at me and yenny.

Tears streamed down my face like the Niagara Falls was happening. Yenny let out a sigh and pulled me to her chest, her hand slowly rubbed my back as I sobbed on her chest.

"I'm so sorry carino."She whispered then placed a kiss on my head. "I'm just so sorry."

I could hear Chris's footsteps, he was stood next to me and looked at his mum. "What happened?"

I pulled away from her chest, Yenny moved her arms away as I looked at Chris.

My eyes red and blotchy, Chris pulled me into a tight hug ever so tight. "I'm so sorry."

"Take her home."Yenny said as she let out a sigh. "I'll sort everything out here."

"I'll stay with you too mum."Jonathan said with a nod.

Chris pulled away from the hug and looked at me. "Let's go home."

I didn't know what to say or do, he took a hold of my hand and gave a look to his mum then we left the hospital hand in hand.

We sat down in the car, tears trickled down my face as I just looked outside the window full of so much pain.

Chris turned on the engine, he started to drive then placed his free hand on my knee and gave it a squeeze.

We arrived home, I just stayed in the car for a few minutes just staring at the place I used to call home.

"Come on, I'll stay with you tonight."Chris said as he looked at me.

I turned to him. "Thank you."

He smiled then I got out of the car with him behind me as we walked up to the house.

I pulled out the keys from my bag, my hands shaking as I was trying to put the key into the lock.

Chris placed his hand on top of mine then guided my hand to put the key in the lock.

The door opened and Chris looked at me, my eyes brimmed with tears as I looked at him.

"Let's go in."Chris said softly. "You need to get changed and I'll make us something nice to eat."

"I-I really d-don't want to go in."

"You have to."Chris said as he let out a sigh. "Because this is your home."

"How is it my home when the people that were here aren't here anymore?"

"I'm still here."Chris whispered as he looked at me.

I brought myself to walk into the house, everything just looked so normal.

"I'll go make us something."Chris said as he looked at me. "And you go and get changed."

I nodded and walked upstairs into my bedroom, I pulled out a hoodie and a pair of leggings then got changed.

Chris walked in with two plates both had sandwiches on and a bag of chips on top of them. "Wanna eat?"

"Can we eat on the rooftop?"I asked with a shrug.

He nodded. "Whatever makes you happy."

We walked up to the rooftop, I sat on the deck chair as Chris sat on the one next to me.

We looked up at the starts shining down on us ever so bright and the moon.

"Everything seems bad right now but I promise you it'll get better."Chris said as he looked at me.

"Don't make promises you can break por favor."

"I'm not because it's going to get better."Chris said then took a hold of my hand and gave it a squeeze.

"I've got no one Chris, m-mum and Alex have gone. Dad has just gone and I didn't even get a chance to say g-goodbye."

"You've got me, my mum and my brother. We've always been family haven't we?"Chris spoke as he turned his whole body to me. "I will never leave you I promise you that on these stars."

"These bright shining stars?"

"I promise you that I will not leave you no matter what and that I'll always be here for you."Chris promised as he looked at me. "Whether it's good or bad."

"I promise you the same, that'll I'll be here no matter what and always here."

"See, nothing can come between our friendship can't it?"

"That's true."

I brought myself closer to Chris, his arms wrapped around me as we looked up at the stars and moon.

"It's so amazing."I whispered as I looked at the sky.

"A shooting star."Chris said as he pointed at the star with a flame at its end.

"Make a wish then!"

He closed his eyes then a few seconds he opened his beautiful eyes with a smile on his face.

"What did you wish for?"

"If I say what I wish for it won't come true would it now?"Chris replied with a soft chuckle.

"You are so bad Christopher Velez Mounz."

He started to tickle me, I let out a yelp and couldn't stop laughing. "Please stop it."I kept on saying in between laughs.

He stopped and looked at me, our lips ever so nearer. "I love you Amal."

"I love you too Chris."

Our lips touched, we kissed and the kiss progressed but he pulled away and looked at me. "We are going to do this properly."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'm going to take you out."Chris said as he looked at me. "Like your dad always used to tell me."

"You always were his favourite weren't you?"

"Duh obviously, since when I'm not anyone's?"

"You certainly weren't Marie's were you?"

"True but me and you both know what she was like."

"That's true."I said as I let out a sigh. "She's the reason why many of things have happened."

"But she's gone carnio."Chris said as he looked at me.

"You aren't going to leave me are you?"

"No I'm not going to."He said as he took a hold of my hand. "I would be mad if I leave you, siempre tu recordere I'll be right here waiting for you.

"Please don't because I don't want you to walk out of that door like everyone else did."

"I won't."

But he did didn't he? He walked out of that door, it's true the closet people around you hurt you the most then others.
